Each of four outer side surfaces of each of a plurality of square pipes include a groove portion formed along a longitudinal direction of each of the plurality of square pipes and a pair of ridge line portions forming edge portions on both sides of the groove portion. An additional member includes a contact plane which is a plane in contact with a portion of the plurality of square pipes. The additional member is fixed to a plurality of first target pipes which are some of the plurality of square pipes with the contact plane in contact with at least one of the pair of ridge line portions, or the additional member is fixed to a second target pipe which is one of the plurality of square pipes with the contact plane in contact with the pair of ridge line portions.

Structure and image forming apparatus

A structure includes a plurality of joined square pipes. Four corner portions of each of the plurality of square pipes include three first corner portions and one second corner portion. The three first corner portions are formed by bending a single metal plate. The one second corner portion includes two edge portions of the metal plate and a welded portion where the two edge portions are joined.

A leg-portion attachment structure () includes: a support member () having a substantially quadrilateral outer periphery and an upper surface on which an apparatus main body () is mounted; two attachment plates () provided at two opposite sides on a lower surface of the support member (). Each of the attachment plates () includes caster attachment portions () formed respectively on both end sides in a side direction so that casters () are firmly attached, first bent portions () formed by bending of outer edges in the side direction of the caster attachment portions () at predetermined angles, and first coupling portions () that are formed by further outward bending of edges of the first bent portions () and are firmly attached to the support member ().

Leg-portion attachment structure and image forming apparatus provided therewith

In one of aspects of the invention, an automatic sheet conveying mechanism comprises upper and lower casings mutually coupling sheet conveying paths in a releasable state, and a sheet guide plate for partitioning the sheet conveying paths together with the lower casing, guiding the lower surface of the sheet being conveyed, and defining the projecting extent of the functional parts supported by the lower casing into the sheet conveying path, in which the sheet guide plate is formed integrally with the lower casing.
